Magento Hosting with ASPHostPortal :: Top 3 Mistakes in Magento

clock June 15, 2010 11:29 by author Jervis

First of all, let us inform you that this article is for those of you who are just starting with Magento. If you are a Magento expert, you will probably know this.  Consider it just a reminder for those who use Magento for first time. There are three common mistakes that most people do when they try to use Magento for first time, so read this article and you won’t be one of them. If you don’t want make mistakes, entrust your magento hosting to ASPHostPortal. We will provide the best service for you.

1. First mistake is downloading Magento’s full release and trying to upload it using ftp. Much easier solution is using Magento downloader method and you won’t lose upgrade capability.

2. More experienced PHP developers will first read Magento Designers Guide before they try to style Magento, but others won’t and that’s the mistake number two. Since Magento has great theme fallback system there is really no need to touch default theme. Although easiest way to make new theme for new Magento is top copy the whole theme to a new folder, don’t do that. Copy only the files you will need: from /design/frontend/default/default/ directory to /design/frontend/default/YOUR_NEW_THEME directory. Do the same thing with /skin/frontend/default/default/ Congratulations, you have your own theme just like that. All that left is to apply new theme (System->Configuration->Design) and you are ready to do with your theme files whatever you want.

3. Third mistake is modifying Magento core files. What files are core ones? All what is in app/code/core folder. If you have a need to modify some of those ones, you just need to duplicate that file in the same directory path to app/code/local. For example, if you need to modify the file
app/code/core/Mage/Checkout/Block/Success.php
copy it to
app/code/local/Mage/Checkout/Block/Success.php
and leave the core file intact. This way your Magento will be more bullet-proof to future updates.

Magento Hosting with ASPHostPortal :: Export Magento Products into Google Base

clock June 2, 2010 04:57 by author Jervis

Google Base is a fantastic tool and should never be underestimated.  If you don’t know what Base is – it is a database where users can upload data feeds of products, blog posts, reviews, jobs, hotels, you name it…   On occasions, Google will supplement their usual search results with results from Base.

For example, check out this search for TV Wall Brackets – on this page you can see three results which are “Shopping Results”.  These results have very good click through rates, simply because they list a relevant product, and they also echo the delivered price of a product.

Before now, trying to get all your products from your Magento site on to Google Base was pretty impossible – as it’d be a manual job to go into the database, export it as CSV, put it into Excel, delete the fields which are not required etc.

Now however, a plugin has been released via Magento Connect, called “SingleFeed Export Module” – this module is fantastic because it exports products from your Magento Store into a SingleFeed compatible data feed format.

Subsequently, SingleFeed then can submit your products to over a dozen comparison shopping engines including Google Base/Product Search, Nextag, Shopping.com, Pricegrabber, Shopzilla, Yahoo Shopping and many more.

The beauty of doing it through SingleFeed is that it will allow you to manage your products with only one feed instead of one unique feed for each shopping engine.
